Chance encounter 1.2: the photoshoot

"You are an actor as well right, Joong?" Dunk asked Joong as they begin to prep for the shoot. Joong nodded.

"We are going to do it a little differently for this shoot. I would just like you to imagine yourself in one of your roles. Your partner has been away for a long time. You're missing your partner. This perfume is your only link to your partner. This scent is the one thing that reminds you of this person. I would like you to channel that energy. Is that alright? Does it make sense?" Joong nodded.

"That's great, I'll give you a moment. Let us know when you are ready. Phi New, let Phi First know about my change in schedule. I want complete silence in this studio. Not a sound." Joong felt a lot more nervous hearing that. He felt that there was a lot more expectation compared to his usual photoshoot. Dunk noticed the nervous energy that Joong was emitting.

"Hey, it's okay. Tell me about the latest role that you played?" Joong felt himself relaxing as he describes his role in the latest series that he played in. Dunk nodded with interest, picking out a scene for him to latch on. He guided him like how his acting coach guided him on set. As he got ready, Dunk even called out the exact instruction that the director gives for him to get into role.

They were 5 shots in before that intern who rudely disrupted them before shouted, "why is the food delivery guy taking photos?!" Phi New's face had turned 50 shades of red. If looks could kill, she would be dead ten times over. "I want her out of here! Dismissed! Gone!" he shouted.

The magic that Dunk so carefully crafted with Joong was gone in that instant. Before Joong started to feel dejected, Dunk asked Joong to close his eyes and take a couple of deep breaths. "I'll walk you through it, I want you to follow my voice..." Dunk's low timbre voice started to narrative the thoughts of his character. Joong emote accordingly with ease. He was so deep into character that it didn't feel like he was in a photoshoot at all. Before he knew it, the shoot was done.

"These are so much better! Our sales are going rocket this year. Prepare my bonus ahead of time" Phi New said with delight. Joong was surprised when he saw the pictures of himself. Every frame so specifically timed that he didn't think it was possible. 

"Taan Dunk, you really captured Joong's best angle. If you weren't the CEO, I would definitely want to hire you for Joong's profile shots." Paaw Jack exclaimed.

"It's such an honour for you to think so highly for me, Khun Jack. It's been such a long time since I've indulged in photography, I'm glad that you all love it. It's been such an ease to work with Khun Joong, I would gladly work with him again if the opportunity arises. Thank you for all the hard work. I really do need to head back and rush to the office before Phi First breathes down my neck for the change in schedule" Dunk wai-ed to everyone before leaving.

Joong hoped that this isn't the last chance working with Dunk. It seems that destiny has pathed a way for him towards Dunk. He hopes it continues.

A/N: I decided to drop two chapters cause I don't feel that confident about this chapter. I felt that this chapter is neither here nor there but essential to the plot development. Do you like it? 

**I have always felt that Dunk has a great voice and would really be suited to do voice acting.
